How to

Create a PayID

1. Open the main menu in the Heritage Mobile Banking App and select PayID. 

2. Select the type of PayID (mobile number or email address) you want to create and enter the details.

3. When confirming your PayID details we will provide you a PayID Shortname, a shortened version of your account name. The Shortname will help the payee to identify your name when making payments to your PayID.

4. Read and accept the Terms and Conditions to create a PayID.

5. You will receive a One Time Password to complete the creation of the PayID.

A confirmation message will appear on the mobile app screen when you complete setting up your PayID. Heritage will create your PayID immediately on your account, however there may be a minor delay for the NPP addressing service to update. 

You may also set up to receive NPP transaction notifications in Heritage Online for added security.

Close a PayID

Your PayID will remain active and can still receive NPP Payments until you choose to de-register it. To close your PayID:

 

1. Open the main menu in the Mobile Banking App and select PayID. 

2. Select the PayID you wish to close

3. Select Close PayID

 

If you close your Heritage account, we will automatically close any PayID's that are linked to your account. If you close your PayID by mistake, you will need to recreate your PayID again if you wish to use it.

Lock/Unlock a PayID

You can lock your active PayID if you wish to temporarily stop it receiving payments. Simply jump into the PayID menu in the Mobile Banking App to lock or unlock your pay ID. If you are having difficulties, please contact us for assistance. 

Transfer a PayID

If you are switching accounts you can simply transfer your PayID. This allows you to still receive NPP Payments while the PayID Transfer is taking place.
